Deb took fantastic care of Sadie! She sent photos and a video of her fun time at her house with her new friend Gleason! We look forward to Sadie staying there again over the 4th of July weekend.

Debra is terrific! She is very knowledgeable, attentive, caring and had the perfect environment for Izzy. She reenforced Izzy's existing training and provided additional direction to her. She is a true professional. Debra keep us informed with regular updates and pictures. She ensured that our time away from Izzy was without worry. Izzy and Debra's dog Gleason got along great and based on the pictures they certainly had fun together. We would absolutely recommend Debra and certainly intend to use her again.

I want to thank Debra so much for the great care she gave Dante while we were away for 1.5 weeks! My husband and I knew we could relax more during our vacation knowing Dante was in a loving home with Debra and her pup Gleason. We received pics and notes everyday from Debra, including fun pictures of Dante and Gleason playing! I highly recommend Debra, and will have Dante stay with her again in the near future!

As a retiree from outside employment, I dedicate my days to my own personal dog and caring for another client dog where we have lots of fenced in space to play, and learn FUN activities.

Safety, trust & environment

With a spacious fully fenced property, and plenty of room inside my home, I can accommodate dogs who may need a separate space and have crates to assist with dogs who need the safety and security of a crate. Plus we play many fun crate games for positive association with crates and barriers between rooms.

Pets

A typical day

Providing mental and physical stimulation, I play lots of easy and inventive games for many common social skills. Like bringing objects back, playing give and take. We learn to use smell to seek first food then objects in exchange for food goodies. Games like ‘find me’ are common. And there are lots of indoor play games each day. These games help build good manners of self control

I love to build good communication skills with dogs using positive and reward for choice based games. If you have something you want to see improved or introduced, I’m happy to accommodate. Working with special needs dogs is an area where I’ve had much varied experience, I’m happy to hear what you need and discuss how to accommodate you.
